Hilary Duff talks about how it was “too heavy” to film the final season of Younger
Hilary Duff said she was thrilled with filming the end of her series, Younger.
“Honestly, it’s heavy, it looks very heavy,” the 33-year-old star told Brooke Baldwin, replacing Ellen on Friday. ‘Everyone on that program was a family and we all went through so many things, you know how to make children, marriages, divorces.’
The Houston native added: ‘Our characters have grown so much that we all grew up as a family.’
The most recent: Hilary Duff, 33, said she was thrilled with the filming of the end of her Younger series in a remote appearance in Friday’s edition of Ellen.
Duff said it was ‘weird’ to part with the cast and crew in the romantic comedy series, which co-starred Sutton Foster, Miriam Shor and Hilary Duff.
“I know I will see them again, but it is strange, for seven years of my life I have based all of my other work on these four months that I am in New York with those people on that team,” she said. ‘Honestly, the team that was so exciting, it was like I didn’t know when I was going to see them again.’
Last September, the show’s creator, Darren Star, told TVLine that the show’s seventh season was being planned “unofficially” as the last.
Production for the sixth season of the show took place in September 2019, with the coronavirus pandemic ending production for the seventh season until last fall.

Star said the pandemic COVID-19 was likely to be integrated into the show’s seventh season.
“Younger’s action kind of starts where the last season left off, which was before the pandemic,” Star told the channel. “But I think we are looking forward to incorporating it into the action as the season progresses.”
Duff is expecting her third child – she is the mother of two-year-old daughter Banks, with husband Matthew Koma, and eight-year-old son Luca, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.
In the episode, Duff said he wrote his latest children’s book My Little Brave Girl in the Notes app on his phone, opening up about the time period that inspired the material.
Duff played the role of Kelsey Peters in the Darren Star series from 2015 to 2019
‘Yes, in the notes [app] from my phone, actually, ‘she said. I was going back to work and I had a baby with severe colic, so Banks was super attached to me and … not even four months after giving birth yet, ‘she said. ‘I went back to work and 16, 17 hours a day on set is not really a good place for a baby, so a lot of growing pains and learning to separate … it’s hard to let go.’
She said that, when feeding the child, she liked Banks’ bravery in recovering the baby from ‘a struggle’ for not being with his mother as much as she wanted.
‘It inspired this book,’ she added, noting that she was holding her daughter at the time she wrote it.
